InfoQ: Book Excerpt: Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash

 

The 7 Principles of Lean Software Development:
  1. Eliminate Waste
    The three biggest wastes in software development are: Extra Features, Churn, Crossing Organizational Boundaries.
  2. Build Quality In
    If you routinely find defects in your verification process, your process is defective.
  3. Create Knowledge
    Planning is useful. Learning is essential. Predictable performance is driven by feedback.
  4. Defer Commitment
    Abolish the idea that it is a good idea to start development with a complete specification.
  5. Deliver Fast
    Lists and queues are buffers between organizations that simply slow things down.
  6. Respect People
    Engaged, thinking people provide the most sustainable competitive advantage.
  7. Optimize the Whole
    Brilliant products emerge from a unique combination of opportunity and technology.

Remote Debugging with WinDbg

Application debugging in a production environment

Personally, I like WinDbg the most to do remote debugging. Not only is this the most
powerful debugger, but it has also the most possibilities to connect computers with each
other. In some scenarios, you can connect up to 5 computers to debug a station !
Note: Check the WinDbg documentation for more information about how to setup
remote debugging.

An easy way to debug user applications (not kernel problems) with WinDbg is by
installing WinDbg on the debugging station and "DbgSvr" (process server) on the remote
computer.
Give the command below on the remote computer :
DbgSvr –t tcp:port=9999
And on the debugging computer, where WinDbg is located, run :
WinDbg –premote tcp:server=<remote station name>, port=9999 –p <PID>
And there you go !
